I don't think so. Even though while folding it will show 99% GPU usage, the GPU won't heat up like it would with say Furmark at 99% load. I don't think F@H uses all of the GPU. Just make sure you aren't overvolted in any way and that your have suficient cooling.

Nothing uses all of the gpu, that's why furmark creates more heat then everything else, it uses some special techniques which means some normal processes which normally have to happen in the gpu don't, as such the gpu can run at the absolute maximum without having to stop for the memory transfers etc that a normal program would use, Furmark makes the gpu create random data that it has no use for and then just removes all the data the gpu creates without having to do anything with it

As such fur-mark achieves a Level of gpu usage no useful program will ever create due to the lack of data transfer through memory buffer, pci-e slot etc, that is why it is unsafe as the gpu's were just not designed to work in the way furmark makes them
